MANY K ILLE I) AND A LARGE NUN.-
E'ER WOUI , ..;DED.
Over two hundred accidents from kick
ing and running away of horses occurred
during the past year, in Lancaster county
alone nearly all of which resulted in inju
ring the drivers, killing some, maiming
and wounding others, and in most eases,
breaking costly carriages and hurting the
horses.
Of the above, nine-tenths m-ore tame
family horses. The safety bridle will put
an end to all such needless .tecidenuf, and
with the Safety Lines the speed of every
horse is easily muchincreased.
thet3 pepia,l,,meetire.; nt t hp,sad dlers o
eitY,"„Xo'cr.:- 27, -18.fiVtliti'folhiwil4
resolutions were untininiotislY adopted :' -
WmutuAs, The usefulness, power and
safety of Dr. I.l.artman's Safety Bridle and
Lines have been publicly demonstrated
demonstrated in the presence of from' one
'thousand to fifteen hundred persons to
their entire, satisfaction; and since it was
provtin at the Millersville horseexhibition
on four of the most vicious and eon:in:led
kickers and runaways, that with the Safety
Bridle and Lines it is' utterly impossible
ibr a horse either to kick or runaway;
thereibre
Resolved; That we the Saddlers, if'.l,,Lan
easter county, Po., - believe that the Safety
Bridle and Lines accomplish all and even
more. than is claimed by the patentee, in
preventing horses front kicking and roll
ninfr away.
lii olrerl, that in view of the above facts
we deem it our legitimate duty, bothaindi
vidually and Collectively, to exert all hon
orable moans to at once introduce the
Bridle and Lines, because in doing so we
in a very great measure prevent all acci
dents with horses; while with the old and
defective bridle we put in great jeopardy
both life and limb.
.nesolved, That bereater \WC Manufacture
no other but Surety Bridles, unless especi
ally' ordered.

The price ofindividllal Rights is $5 each;
County Riglits, froni 100.00 to 500.00 accor
ding to poonlation—these containing large
cities exejpted.
No other investment before the public
presents such inducements of making
money. In every county there are at least
twenty townships, and in each township
at least one hundred persons who drive
horses—which at live dollars Ibr an indi
vidual right will amount to $5OO per town
ship, and ten thousand dollars ($10,000) for
each county at the rate oftwenty townsnips
at five hundred dollars each l I haye not
the least doubt but that amount of money
can be made' out of a county with proper
business tact and energy. The price of
counties is so small as to place the invest
ment in the hands of every one, for few aro
so poor as to be unable to raise one hun
dred dollars.
- - - - _
Another .fiatture about this invention is
that the proprietcr of the territory need not
manufacture the bridles and lines as the
ordinary bridle can be easily altered into a
Safety. The lines only require, to
,he made
to order, and-these' dan,be , .made by any
saddler foialtrifie more than the ordinary
linos. Hence, unlike other patents, the
right to use it only.is sold. •
No man need wish for a greater fortune
thahriglitef a State. :To show the 'confi
dence tho patentee' has in his invention,he
of to pay 1,000 dollars ,fori any horse
that , can either . hick or run. ,away when
under the iultuence of the Safety, Bridle
and Lines. For County and State rights

Mode of COMM en cing Grammar.
Before presenting the reader with the
specimen lesson promised in my last, I
desire to make a remark or two respecting
the commencement of this important
study.
1. No teacher should ever require his
pupils to buy primary grammars, though
he should own one himself. The object
of such lessons is to teach the teacher a
correct method, and not to teach the
pupil, the science.
2. In my opinion, most teachers
commence the study too soon. Pupils
should not commence the systematic study
of English Grammar until they have
mastered fractions, and can read with
facility, even then it is too soon with
some.
The class should be regarded as an
organized assembly, with the teacher as
chairman. The raising of the hand on
the part of the pupil signifies that he
wishes to speak or answer a question,
but does not confer the privilege of doing
so. No pupil should be permitted to
answer or speak, until the teacher permits
by calling his nam2..
The inductive method is the one
proper to be employed and no definition
should be given until the facts from
which it is derived are so well understood
that the pupil may easily draw his own
conclusions. To this end,let the teacher
place upon his desk such objects as a
book, a pen, an inkstand, a globe, a
pointer, &e., and require the class to seat
themselves upon the recitation bench
with slate and pencil in hand.

Let Me Love You.
EY WILLIE WARE.:
Let mo love you darling,
Love the gentle smile
That plays around your lips
So free from every guile.
Let me love you, darling,
Love your mild and love lit eye,
Love the jetty, glossy ringlet,
Love your gentle sigh.
Let me love you, darling - ,
hove you in thin world of praise,
Love you, though we now ore parted,
We will meet again.
Let me love you darling,
While we dwell below,
Let us gather forest flowers,
Leave the thorns to grow.

SHIPS AT SEA.
I have ships that went to sea.
Moro than fifty years ago ,
None have yet come home to zoo,
But are sailing to and fro.
I have seen them in my sleep.
Plunging through the shoreless deep,
With tattered sails and battered hulls,
While around then screamed the gulls,
Flying low, - flying low.
I have wondered why thcy strayed,
From me, sailing round the %road ;
And I've said, "I'm half afraid
That, their sails will ne'er he Curled."
Great the treasures that they hold,
and plunvls. and bars of gold ;
While the spices that they bear,
Till with fulgrancc all the air.
As they sail, as they sail.
Alt' ettah sailor in the port
Knows that I have ships at sea,
Of the waves and wind the sport,
And the sailor. pity too.
Oft they come and with me walk,
Cheering toe with hopeful talk,
Till I put my fears aside,
And, contented watch the tide
Rise and fall, rise and fall.
I have waited on the piers,
Gazing fur them down the bay,
Days and nights fur many years,
Till I turned heart sick away.
But, when they land,
Step and take tee by the hand,
Sayfir,4,"yon will live to see
Your proud vessels come from sea,
One and all, one and all."
I never quite despair,
Nor let hope or eon rage fail;
And some day, WilCll skies are fair,
Up the bay my ships. will sail,
I Audi buy then I need,—
Prints to look at, books to read,
Horse., wines rani works of art,—
Everything . except a heart,
That is lost, that is lost.
Once when I was pure and young,
Richer, too, than I am now,
Ere*eliiuOvas o •er me flung; "
Or a wrinkle creased my brow,
There 1111 S ono whose heart WAS mine;
Basile's something now divine,
And though come my ships from sea, -
They can bring no heart to ma

Mary. You hold in your hand the
book itself ; its name is written on our
slates.
Let the teacher take the various objects
named, and pursue a similar course with
each, requiring each pupil to write them
in the following order, beginning each
word with a capital letter, putting a
period after each, and writing each word
so that the first letter or each ccmes
directly underneath each other. Thas :
1. Book. 1
2. Pen.
3. Inkstand.) Names of objects.—Nouns,
4. Globe.
5. Pointer. )
Before making the brace and writing
names of objects, he should explain that
an object is anything we can perceive by
our senses or of which we can conceive.
This explanation should be abundantly
illustrated by calling attention to the
various objects in the school room, and
requiring the class to make a list of all
the objects which way present themselves.
I have had pupils present me. next day
with lists of from one to two hundred
names. By such a process,thc definition
"a noun is the name of an object," is
comprehended by the pupil. Thus, the
the first lesson in this important science
is mastered, and the next may be easily
comprehended. More anon.
New 'York Newspapers and News
paper Men.
The profits of the New York newspa
pers the past year has been unpreceden
ted, The Herald has yielded about
$300,000; the Tribune $105,000; the
Times upwards of $100,000; the World
nearly as much, and the Express Com
mercial journal of Commerce and Even
ing Post from $40,000 to $50,000 each.
Bennett is sole owner of the Herald, but
Frederick Hudson is the editor, and no
one surpasses him for executive ability
in his line. The Tribune is owned by
stockholders, of which Dr. James C.
Ayer, of Lowell, is the heaviest. Sainl.
Sinclair, the publisher, is also one of its
largest owners, while Stephen T. Clark,
the writer of the money article, and Hor
ace Greely are interested to a large
amount. The capital stock is 8800,000.
Mr. Sidney H. Gay is the editor of the
Tribune. Greely writes many of the
leading editorials.,,,Alkarles..T,Congdon
is also an editorial contributor to a large
amount. The principal owners of the
Times are reported to be Leonard W.
Jerome, James B. Taylor, Henry J.
Raymond, George Jones, the publisher,
and Christopher Morgan, of Methodist
fame. During Mr. Raymond's absence'
F. J. Otterson, formerly of the Tribune,l
is the managing editor, as he is a writer
of superior abilities. The lVorld is con
ducted by Manton Marble, and he is the I
largest owner of the concern. .A New
York correspondent says:
"Of the younger journalists of this
city there are several of great promise ;
among them, Thomas A. .Kennett, of the
World, Daniel K. O'Donnell, of the
e.
Tribun, and Augustus Maverick, of the
Evening Post. The best editorial writers i
and each inimitable iu his, way, are Geo.
Wilkes, of the Spirit of the Times, Sid
ney Howard Gay and Charles T. Congdon,
of the Tribune, William H. Hurlhurt, of
the World, and Charles 'Nordhoff, of the
Evening Post. The best American po
litical statistician living, connected with
the press, is probably Horace Greely;
and the next best is Faanklin J. Otter
son,managing editor of the Tones,though
Thomas G. Sherman, a lawyer, is a per
fect cyclopedia of political knowledge,an d
is a very useful man for more than one
newspaper establishment."
The Way of the World.
We were traveling through Canada,
and, after a long days' ride, stopped at
an inn, where the passengers were soon
gathered round the cheerful fire. We
observed au ill-looking cur among the
occupants of the room,who had shown hiz
wit by quartering in so comfortable
an apartment. In a few moments the
landlord entered, and observing the
canine specimen, remarked :
"Fine dog, that! Is he yours, sir ?"
approaching ouc of the passengers.
"No, sir."
"Beautiful dog! Your's sir ?" speak
ing to the second.
"No," was the blunt reply.
"Come here, purp ! Perhaps lie is
yours, sir ?" "do," was again responded.
"Very sagacious animal ! Belongs to
you, I suppose, sir ?"
"No, he don't" was the reply.
"Then he is yours, and you have a
treasure," (throwing the animal a
cracker.)
"He is not mine !"
"Oh (with a smile.) Ire belongs to
you as a matter of course," addressing
himself to the last passenger.
"Wouldn't have him as a gift."
"Then,you in fernal,mean ,con temptible
whelp, get out !" And thereupon the
landlord gave the poor dog such a kick
as sent the cowering animal yelping into
the street, amid the laughter of the
company.
[WHOLE .NUMBER 1,900•
The Richest 'Hen in New York the
Hardest Workers.
"Burleigh," of the Boston Journal,
scuds the following:—
The hardest working men and the hard:.
est working institutions in New York are
those which are most successful. To the
outsiders it seems an easy thing to make
money and to keep it. Banking was easy
work a few years ago, and is now in the
old-fashioned institutions who have no
country and no foreign exchange. But
I no factory or machine shop keeps men on
the jump as does a live bank in this wikre--
awake city. I was in one of these insti
tutions yesterday, which is not yet ten
years old. Its army of clerks have to be
on hand early in the morning and they
cannot leave until their day's work is
done,which is often not till long after the
gas is lighted. Its capital is two millions,
and its daily receipts seven million dol
lars. It receives daily from two hundred
and fifty to four hundred letters, all of
which have to be registered and answered
before the business of the (lay ends. No
bank clerk on a salary of a thousand dol
lars a year goes to his bank as regularly,
or works as many hours, as William R
Astor, who counts up his forty millions.
His little one-story office, a step or two
from Broadway,on Prince street, with its
iron bars, making it resemble a police
prison, is the den where he performs his
daily toil, and out of all his wealth and
labor lie gets only his " victuals and
clothes." He attends personally to all his
busincss,knows every dollar of rent or in
come that is to b ecome due, pays out ev
ery dollar, makes his entries in his own
hand, and obliges his subordinates to
come to him for information,while he does
not go to them. He generally comes down
in the omnibus at au early hour of the
day,and remains closely absorbed in busi
ness until five o'clock. fle rarely takes
exercise, and finds his chief pleasure in
the closest attention to his business. A
friend of mine rode to Washington with
him iu the same car from New York. Ho
wither spoke nor got off his seat, and
I hardly moved,from Jersey City to Wash
ington. Ile usually leaves his office at
five o'clock, and. walks slowly up Broad
way, to Lafayette,,. place. He is over six
feet high; heavily built, 'With a' 'decided,
German look, small hazel
,eyes,as if he .
was half asleep, head round as a. pump
kin, and about as destitute of hair. He
is exceedingly , hospitable, , and in ,the
"season" - gives a dinner to his i'riends ,
I weekly, at which the richest viands_ on .
services of gold and silver are. presented
by liveried servants to his guests.
Onmmodore Vanderbilt never - worked
harder in his life,—never worked more
hours than now. He has a confidential
servant who works like a pack horse,who
has been in his employ thirty years. Be
sides this, Vanderbilt does his own busi
ness, makes and executes his own eon
tracts,aud this,with the business he does
on twenty millions, is no small toil. The
Commodore goes down to his business reg
ularly every day,and can be found at cer
tain hours. His only recrcation is euchre
and fast horses.
Moses Taylor,whose dividends from his
coal stock alone this year reached the
pretty little sum of a million of dollars,
began the business in New York when he
was sixteen years of age, kept his books
with his own hands, and has done so
ever since. His library in his house on
Fifth Avenue is a regular workshop. Ev
ery night he brings up his business with
his own hand. His vast business,person
al to himself, and his business as trustee,
is kept by himself. He makes all the
original entries of sort and kind, and
goes to his office for no information, and
lie knows just how things must be there
to be right. And should every record
kept by his book-keepers and clerks be
destroyed, it would make no difference
with him for he has the originals in his
own hands. Many merchants spend the
afternoon in riding,or in games, or in the
excitement in the evening stock board;
but Mr. Taylor finds his recreation in a
bath, a good dinner, a comfortable siesta,
and au evening devoted to work. Such a
man would make money and keep it,.
These are only specimens of how the
men of wealth in our city become men of
toil.

young and oftentimes with the aged.—
We remember hearing the Rev: Dr.

during the war. He had just returned
from Europe. Whilst abroad he spent
sometime in Scotland, and one evening
